Transmitter questions

[Senistr]

So I have a Sanwa MX-6 but it doesn't let me co trol the gain in a drift gyro on Channel 3. Does antone know if the Futaba 3PV does? I am not looking to break bank and I know the Flysky Noble N4 foes but everywhere is sold out. Or if not the Futaba 3PV, the Spectrum DX5C? Botb are in stock and the same price. Thank you for your time.

You could theoretically control it with AUX EPA I think. It's a two position switch, right? So you can set the 2 end points to where you want the gain to be. You could have 2 positions on the fly and go into the menu to finetune each position.

Otherwise, any transmitter with a potentiometer on a 3rd (4th, 5th, whatever) channel will do, e.g. FlySky FS-GT5, Radiolink RC4Gs or RC6g are the cheapest more advanced ones. Even a DumboRC should handle that. The first two even have gyros integrated in the receivers, don't know how they handle drift.

The DumboRC 6FG receiver has a built in gyro that is adjustable through the radio as well.

Oh, that's right. I believe it uses Radiolink electronics inside, with a, let's say, less advanced interface.

I had a Radiolink gyro rx but I never used it on my rigs after trying it out. FlySky's gyro (SVC) is way more advanced and I kinda like it. And you can completely turn it off from the TX, unlike the Radiolink where you have to do it on the Rx.

Thank yall for the replies but none of my LHS's carry any of those. The two I mentioned are available though and with porch pirates on the rise, I don't want to order online unfortunately. There have been an increased in thefts in my city so if it isn't available to buy at the store, I am overlooking for now. I do have some time right now so I'll jist head to one of them and ask. Worse comes to worse i'll just have to get a orogrammer card for now.

So after stopping by 1 store, they were completely clueless and were more stuck about a drifting gyro than anything. So I went across town and looked at the other store. They were not much help either but the Futaba 3PV does have a +1 for potentionmeter scale on a channel. They were clueless on how to get it to function so I sat in the store looking at the manual and I figured it out. It stays under the SYS menu but you can switch the DT3 button to channel 3 which allows to change the gain on the Gyro.

The controller is noticably different than the Sanwa MX-6 but it feels better and has a few things different on the menu that I liked better. It took a little getting use to it, but now I can dial in a gyro on the fly which was the most important thing to me. Thank you all for the suggestions and the help though. Hope this can help someone else in the future too cause I learned there is a offroad gyro and this could help someone else out potentially.
